Greg was surprise to see Fiona, after the secretary told the pastor he was leaving for the day because is past his closing time, Pastor Greg asked him to go ahead, so he left, leaving Fiona with Greg alone in his office, Fiona was seated, she crossed her leg and has a twisted smile on her face
“Fiona, how are you doing and to what do I owe this sudden visit…
“First, I am not really fine, and you shouldn’t be surprise when a member or non member visit’s you, God’s house is like a hospital and you are the doctor here so doctors should always be ready to receive patients…
“yea, you are correct, so what is the problem…I mean you said you are not fine…what could be wrong with you and how may I be of help…I will be glad to help in any little way I can…
“well, I have being having night mare, you know all this terrible dream that makes one to wake up breathing so hærd, yes, I have being having that, and sometime I am always afraid to sleep at night because of that, I don’t know if you can help me..
“Tell me what exactly you do see in your dream…
“I see myself with a man, and he seem to always force himself on me…I mean he always want to have s€× with me and if I refuse he will beat me up, I think is a spiritual husband…can you help me, maybe a deliverance will do…
“sure, God will deliver you from such… first of all you have to purge your heart off filthiness, you have to be sure that you are ready to be free from the devils claws, when light appears darkness have to disappear, you need to really surrender all to God and let him wash you off every curse of the land, spiritual and physical curses, Fiona can you surrender your fears, your imperfection and let God begin to perfect all that concerns you…then we will start a deliverance section with you…
“hahahaha, I was only joking, you are already taking me serious…I was only trying to get your full attention, and now that…
“Hold on…wait…why will you joke with something so salient, that was a bad joke Fiona, don’t do that next time please, you don’t joke with things like that, so tell me why exactly you wanted to see me and have to throw such an expenses joke just to get my attention…
“I am sorry pastor…is just that I care so much about…about you…and I know you have started having issue with your wife again and that is why you are mostly in church, I just wanted to reach out to you, nothing more, and I also wish you can come around to the bar sometime, there’s no harm in coming around, even if you don’t want to drink just stop by and say hello to me, I don’t want to be just a church member I also want to be a good friend to you…and also give you a listening ear when you want someone to talk to, I am so sorry for the expensive joke, I forgot that I don’t suppose to joke with everything, but it saddens me that you are always running away from home because of your wife, I also hærd some of your member talking on Sunday that you are mostly in your church office for those that want to visit or book for a prayer or counselling section down, so that was how I got to know that you are mostly here and I know the reason even if some of your church members are blind folded by all the glamour and preteens you and your wife display every Sunday, I can no longer fall for that…is right in your eyes that you are not happy so how long do you want to pretend to be…
“Thank you for caring, I do appreciate, but I and my wife are just fine, we are fine, me being in the office is to have a quiet time with God I don’t want to be distracted, I still go home to my family everyday when I am done here, I also enjoy spending time with my lovely wife, I don’t live here… I’m good Fiona and I totally understand and deeply appreciate your care.
Fiona saw that she was almost getting defeated, she has taking her time to do her makeup and also selected the short gown tight gown which showed her curves, she has chosen to come late so that she and Greg can be alone, and she was happy his secretary left. And now that she finally alone with Greg he was playing hærd to get again, she wondered why he was so difficult and has never picked interest in her despite all her tricks, she knows being a pastor must have contributed to him resisting her but she was determined to make him pick even if is little interest in her, she wanted him to herself, right from the first day she saw him at the bar, she has planned on how she will make Greg to pick interest in her but non of her plan seem to be working, she can see that the pastor wanted her to leave since she doesn’t have anything important to say to him, but she wasn’t going to leave like that, she to began to think of what to do, she knows that the secretary was gone so it was just her and Greg that was in the office, and despite that Greg was not comfortable with her being around anymore she wasn’t going to leave just like that.
She must achieve her aim before leaving, so she stood up and move close to Greg’s chair sed-ctively and try to sit on his lap, he quickly stood up and gently pushed her away, he insisted for her to leave but Fiona has not even started, she can’t take no from him this time, she likes him a lot and wish he can just stop playing hærd to get, Fiona went to him again and told him that she will not leave until he sees that she was only there to care for him and give him the love he deserve. The love that his wife couldn’t give him.
As Greg was trying to leaving through the door, Fiona rushed to the door and stood on his way, she rushed to his arm as he stood in front of her and held him and just at that moment Klein walked in, she was surprise to see Greg and Fiona together.
Greg was troubled as he saw Klein who came unannounced, he knew this was going to be another trouble and no amount of explanation will make Klein to understand why Fiona was in his office at that time and holding him. He breathed deeply as he looked at his wife’s face who smells of trouble.
And immediately Fiona saw Klein she quickly let go of Greg as she picked up her bag and tried to leave.
